Altered Lounge Pants

I have these comfy banana yellow lounge pants I got on super clearance from Talbot's. They are great, but they did shrink a little in the dryer. Plus, with the mud around here when it rains, I thought that shortening them to capri length would make them even more perfect. I used the material cut off from the leg to add a reverse appliqued "K" to the left knee. They have been washing great, and I love the results!

Applique after several washes.

I don't have any before pictures, but all I did was measure how much to cut off for them to end below the knee. I left the edges raw since they are a cotton knit. Obviously they will never be a fashion statement. However, they are now more usable around the house than they were before, and I smile when I see the personalized "K", LOL!
